Beginner Box PbP Recruitment

By Edward Nightingale, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

I'm currently recruiting players for the Star Wars: Edge of the Empire Beginner Box to be played PbP on http://roleplayinggames.net/, who have a Star Wars dice roller built into their forums. You don't need to own the beginner box, or necessarily have any experience with Edge of the Empire in general, though I'm pretty sure everyone here will be familiar. The only requirement is that you be able to make at least 5 meaningful posts per week. I'd like to end up with about 4-6 players.

Here are the pre-generated characters. It's first come first serve! Please note that the character backgrounds are all the way at the back of the documents.

41-VEX - Droid Colonist

Sign me up to play! I have little experience with Edge of the Empire, but I have experience with PbP games. I have been looking for a PbP game for a while now. I am able to post once a day, mostly at night (job gets in the way of gaming...). I would like to play 41-VEX.

Please let me know if I need to do anything else to join.

I'd be down to try it out. I've done story posing before, but never in an actual game system so I'd like to give it a go. I'd like to play Oskara.

Sounds good, Shadai. Be sure to give the "Read This First" document a read, as well as your character background. Now both 41-VEX and Oskara are taken.

I just found two more people to play Lowhhrick and Pash on the Paizo boards. We should be starting as soon as rpg.net approves my game.

I would definitely be interested but I'd like to play my own character if possible or are you allowing pregens only?

There are two other pregen characters you know. Since the rest of us are playing pregens, wouldn't really be fair to allow a custom character.

Edward will you post in this thread when its up and ready? I'm signed up on roleplayinggames.net but I've never posted or played on it before.

Sorry, DJ. We're all ready full. And I definitely agree with Shadai. If one of us bails, I'll be sure to let you know.

Here is the game. You're going to have to ask my permission to join my game somewhere, so let me know if you have any trouble.

I signed up for an account, but I am not seeing how I can ask permission to join the game. My login name on the site is red5_5. Thanks for your help.

Definitely please do let me know, I'm dying for a PbP to join as my local RPers aren't even remotely interested in EotE.

I'm with red5. I can see the board but can't see how to join.

Sorry, guys, I must have been mistaken. Go ahead and try to post in the discussion. I'm pretty sure there's nothing stopping you.

Hey folks,

Not posting in order to join, but rather to congratulate you all for choosing that particular site to run the game on. I've been a member there ever since I was first introduced to RPGs back in secondary school (about 11-12 years ago now), and have never regretted it. Good people, good games - an excellent location to host your campaign.

I may shadow your game, Darth; as the only other EOTE GM on there, it'll be good to see another SWR title being brought to life.

Thanks, Shakespearian! Glad to know that I'm in the right place.

Do you happen to know how to get people able to post on my board? I can't find anywhere to accept people, so I assumed it wasn't needed. No one's been able to post, which leads me back believing they need to be accepted. Any ideas?

On the main page, there's a box of options in the top-right corner of the screen. Go onto 'Control Panel', then 'Utils' - listed under your game's title. From there it's 'Player Permissions', where you enter the username of the players you want to give access to.

Any room left? I joined the site and found your Discussion board, but I cant post for some reason?

Awesome, that worked. Everyone can post now! FootNote, I'm going to keep it at 4 people for this game, but thanks for your interest. I do recommend you try to get another game going, considering there were an overflow of interested people for this one. I'd really like to see the PbP community for this game grow.

Blah. I am GMing in real life and don't want to do it online too. Let me know if you get a free slot, or if you start a campaign after the Beginners box and need an extra.

I'd recommend ghosting both EOTE game boards, FootNote - mine and the Beginner Box; you never know when a slot might open up. RL can be a *****.

Yeah I just posted in your thread I think.
